Ken,

Thanks for the details on your Clik! sales assumptions.

IMO, Your assumptions about Clik! sales related to digital cameras makes as much sense as the next guy's. However, since this is a new product with no historical trends or solid data to draw from, it could be a real wild card with quite different results than either you or I have estimated with the "seat of the pants" methods we have been forced to use for now.

I tried to "guesstimate" all possible potential applications of the Clik! drive I could think of and still believe either one of us could easily be off (on the low side) by up to 100% for 1999, depending on the alliances that have been established by Iomega and the effectiveness of their marketing initiatives for Clik!.

I was disappointed in Glore's 10% prediction because I KNOW that this will not happen. He is setting up shareholders for another letdown.(IMO).

I don't know if I am disappointed or delighted with Glore's 10% prediction.....I'm certainly surprised. The trouble is with my general impression of him so far......I don't think he makes idle threats and therefore tend to not dismiss anything he says as "fluff" nor treat anything he says lightly. I have the distinct impression that Jodie Glore is a "no nonsense" man on a mission and, with his credentials and exemplary past record he brings to the table, he may just succeed.

Dave
